VO 5 PAGL FISH CONTROL DEFECTIVE IN HR 331: ALLEN (Continued from Page 1) is the most vague and vision- | made by the proponer 1d the committee yester- proponents of Alaska od have underestimated its C bout $11,000,000. H d it would require $20,000,000 | rly to operate the state govern- | I whereas proponents had esti mated two days ago the cost wouls be around $10.000,000 He said the proponents had esti- mated the total annual income of tate at first would be 00,000. | ted as additional ex he proposed state, based | recommended Federal nppmpr:-{ for the Territory: | for the Governor’s office, | oftice, | atior $13,000 for the Secretary’s $48,000 for Legislative pense, | $463541° for care of the insane,| $2,600,000 for road maintenance | and $2670587 for the Fish and| Wildlife Service. i He said the state’s maicining shar of federal road aid, based on fig- s for the year starting July 1 d be $3,300,000 while the court em would cost $1,000,000 he total is $10,000,000. “these are the sums which | beyond dispute would need (o be: raised by the new state over and | above its present Territorial ex- | penses. In other words, the Terri torial budget is $10,000,000 and the additional sums are $10,000,000 or 2| total of $20,000,000. “It would appear the Territory | would be required to raise an addi tional $11,000000 per year,” he| testified, “or more than double the | present income.” | Arnold said that under the Alaska | tax system cities levy their own| taxes and that special taxing dis-| icts are set up which levy a prup»} | erty tax. He said the witnesses for state: hood “seemed to forget” that or 30 percent of the salmon cannery | industry is located within such tax- | ing districts—municipalities, school | districts and utility districts. Unde: existing laws, he said, proceeds of property taxes on them are retained 100 percent locally. “Since the principal property lo-| d outside of sall 2 Americans | Are Murdered | In West Java (Continued f{rom Page Cne) er stationed at Ban- correspondent, broadcast this version of the killing: Kennedy and Doyle were stopped ir jeep Thursday noon by a of four or five men in uni- They were taken to a clear- the forest and were shot. agers were forced to bury them Then the gang made their getaway toward ibon in a sedan they d on the road at about The same time.

D sing increased cost to Alask: of statehood opposed to Territorial status, Arnold said he estimated the cost would be ubmu; double. He said he based his esti- mate on the $5,889,268 sum appro- priated by Cor fray sress for 1951 to de- obviously would e. He added e also héd taken into con- sideration statements made by pro- ponents at the hearings and be- lieved their budgets were optimistic. When Arnold asserted the bill would present profits on timbet sales in the Tongass National For- est from being diverted to state support—at least until settlement of Indian claims allowed such di- version instead of being placed in escrow — Anderson interjected the following comment: Insurance Needed “There should be writien inio this bill some form of insurance to guar- antee to the people of Alaska all benefits accruing from sales of timber and pulp woods to indus- tries which undoubtedly will be ed there.” 1d 'also pointed out that doubling the tax on fuel oil to four 2 gallon as proposed by the tatehood Commission would be ot all benefit to the largest industry —Fishing, plane and auto- motive consumption. It would help | defray costs of roads and airtields, ge consumers of | oil—would benefit only in so far| as the revenue would help support | eaplane bases; a matter of small importance to fishermen, he said.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA SUSPENSE GOES UP ON WATERFRONT AS OPENING DAY NEARS About the closest thing in com- parison with it is the preparation for a race. ” Now most of the grooming s dohe —the effect of painting and clean- ing is sleek tidiness. But the last- minute suspense can be felt_all along the waterfront. This morning more than 30 hali- but boats, ranging in size from littie combination halibut and trolling boats such as the Arctic to the big ones such as the Yukon 11, were clustered around the City Float and tide to the Juneau Cold Stor- age Company wharf. “Season opens 12:01 am., May 1. The suspense was high. More sustained than the suspense asso- ciated with a horserace, it will not end until the work begins at 12:01 a.m., Mcnday. The ice whirred down the hose and into the hold of the boat, and as it deepened in the hold the boat lowered in the water The blocks of frozen herring which will be used as bait were lowered in a net. On the after deck neat coils of rope squatted neatly; with their gangions and hooks hid- den. Anchors were hooked by theiwr flukes to the gunwales and bamboo poles bearing marker buoys and red flags were secure in the rigging. “About 20 boats left yesterday,” M. L. (Molly) MacSpadden, of the‘ Juneau Cold Storage Company said. “Some of them took on a load of ice and went to Auk Bay for freshi bait.” At the City Float, last-minute re- pairs were being done on some of | the vessels. Others swayed in the water waiting their turn at the Cold Storage wharf. A hboat cast loose from the Cold | Storage wharf and headed proudly | away down the channel like a racer —trotting confidently toward the starting point. From one of the boats tied at whar{ a man shouted, “Come on. Get a move on. There’s a million dollars swimming around out there the ca and the bodies were ex-| g humed, Ke a professor of sociol- at Yale who had written sev- reports and books on Indo- nesia, recently has been doing re- search work in the field. He al- ways drove his own jeep. Doyle had been working on a ; on how the Indonesian peas- ants felt about the current situa- tion in the islands. He caught a| yide with Kennedy and said he expected to interview villagers | along the route to Jogjakatra.

The ice whirred into the hold. “We expect the first boat to come in with fish next Friday,” Mac- Spadden said, standing at the edge | of the wharf. He didn’t add that the prizes will be awarded according to the num- ber of fish caught and the prevail- | ing” prices. That makes fishing a| race and a gamble—as well as hard | ‘work.
